Add to a movie listChercher le courant est un film documentaire québécois, réalisé par Nicolas Boisclair et Alexis de Gheldere, sorti sur les écrans en 2010.
Le film met en scène les deux réalisateurs explorant en canot la Romaine, une rivière québécoise, avant que des barrages hydroélectriques n'y soient construits. Ce "river movie" questionne la pertinence d'un tel projet et fait valoir d'autres solutions sur le plan énergétique, a priori moins destructrices et plus rentables économiquement.
Synopsis
Été 2008. Un an avant le début d’un chantier hydroélectrique de 8 milliards de dollars prévu par Hydro-Québec sur la rivière Romaine, Alexis de Gheldere et Nicolas Boisclair décident de parcourir ce cours d'eau en canot. Le périple de 500 km commence à la source de la Romaine, au Labrador, et doit se terminer à son embouchure, dans le Golfe du Saint-Laurent.Actors

Depuis mai 2001, il était devenu possible au Québec pour des promoteurs privés d'exploiter le potentiel hydroélectrique de certaines chutes sur les rivières. Le film analyse les enjeux d'une telle pratique. Le comédien Gaston Lepage nous transporte sur les sites que certains désirent voir exploiter, mais que d'autres veulent conserver à titre de patrimoine inviolable.

The documentary is divided into two main segments. The first section of the film is a dramatization of a sneak attack by Soviet Union nuclear weapons against the United States. The premise of the attack is based on Soviet nuclear submarines approaching the United States west coast undetected and launching a barrage of missiles at ICBM silos and B-52 bomber bases, while other Soviet forces manage to destroy a number of U.S. ballistic missile submarines at sea. In the film, by the time Strategic Air Command realizes what is happening, over 80% of U.S. strategic forces have been destroyed and the President of the United States is forced to surrender to the Soviet Union. American casualties are stated to be eight million dead - this "low" number is due to the Soviet attack hitting military bases instead of cities.
